Lymphedema risk with hand injections/surgery is a common q I'm asked about. Our retrospective study shows that this has little risk of lymphedema onset/ exacerbation.

@docgrose @randymcohn @Davembmd @TheNRMP @DrAdamBitterman @SportsSurgeryNY I would use this to encourage our very best students NOT to take >12-15 interviews.

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@randymcohn @reece_nguyen @MichaelGalvezMD @RJOSociety @marykmulcaheymd @drspoon8 @BillLevineMD Agree!

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@randymcohn @ABOSortho @AAOS1 @aoa1887 @AOAforDOs This is sobering. I truly hope students have planned parallel paths for matching in other specialties.

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@BillLevineMD @northwell @OrthoColumbia @RJOSociety @pride_ortho @PerryInitiative Thank you Dr. Levine! I learned from the best

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@DrAdamBitterman @NorthwellHealth @LIOrthoResident @randymcohn @lisacannada @AGianakosDO Such important topics to start bringing to light. So thankful for our residents and attendings for their openness and willingness to talk about these issues within orthopedics.

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@NadeenChahine @ORSsociety @OrthoColumbia @ColumbiaBME Awesome!!

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

So excited to have more former Columbia co-residents with us now at Northwell! @OrthoColumbia @DanoffMD @LIOrthoResident @nicksgaglionemd @BillLevineMD

@aoa1887 How would you answer that question, interviewing for a first job? We need to have answers rehearsed for these awkward and inappropriate lines of questioning

[AOA1887 @aoa1887]

How do you answer hard or inappropriate interview questions? Dr. Nellans shares ways to answer these questions to refocus the conversation on the job and whether or not you're a good fit for it. #aoamtg #2021RLF

Love this trick ( and quote!)

[AAHS @HandSurgeryAssn]

#TechniqueTipTuesday
Restore length & translation in DRfx/osteotomy

Put 1 shaft screw in center of oblong hole (red dot) and fix distally. Then loosen the shaft screw, pull traction +/- ulnar translation, and tighten back down

"Everyone deserves a chance at ulnar neg variance"

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@DanoffMD @randymcohn This coming from from the guy who perfectly reduced his own son’s distal radius fracture on the playground last year...

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@DanoffMD @randymcohn Thought 3.5 loupes would be overkill.

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

So true! No one wins if everyone applies to 100+ programs.

[Dr. William Levine @BillLevineMD]

Please share this with all the medical students you mentor - applying to "more" is not better. Apply smart! 39,38 programs for >238/250 and 65 for <237. @orthomentor1 @AAOSmembers @aoa1887 @OrthoColumbia #orthotwitter

@randymcohn @DrAdamBitterman Reviewer 2 is always the worst!

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]

@randymcohn @NorthwellHealth @orthorehabnd Thanks! Excited to be a part of a great virtual curriculum for medical students!

[Kate Nellans, MD MPH @KateMd]
